: National Eminent Domain BlogMarathon Pipeline Slows
By Alan Ackerman
Detroit News, September 4, 2007
Marathon cleared a hurdle this morning toward a proposed $1 billion expansion of its Detroit refinery.
The expansion would add 135 jobs at the refinery and increase gasoline supplies in Michigan. The project would also create 1200 construction jobs.
Several city council members have said they have serious questions about the project's impact on the neighborhood.
-Apparently Marathon has slowed down its acquisition attempts in Monroe and Wayne Counties. Marathon is awaiting a final determination of which community will obtain the pipeline.
There are concerns about the negative impact on the neighborhood of the refinery. However, the station vis a vis the community and the brownfield cleanup may offset these concerns.
One thing is for certain, with a billion dollar proposed expansion, even if only a half tax occurs, an economic boom will occur in the local area.
The eminent domain proceeding, consisting of the condemnation necessary for the pipeline, would shift into high gear.
